Hi!
So I have a pair of American Buffs. They are a year old. They has a nest filled with about 12 eggs. She started her nest outside the pen and some eggs got eaten by some varmit so I had to move her nest inside the pen ( a few feet). She has been laying in the new nest since. She lays one every couple or few days. She has been laying for a couple of months, and I thought if I let the eggs build up she would sit on them. I got excited a
Few days ago because she sat on them for a few hours, but no, eh has not been in the nest since.
Just asking for opinions- Do you think she will sit on these eggs if I give her time?
I was wondering if maybe she is too young.
They are definitely mating and are very protective of the nest.
If she is not going to get with it, I may give a few of her eggs to a chicken.
Thanks in advance peeps!
